Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1068 The Thief of Han

“I didn’t expect that the Huns would take advantage!”

In the military camp and in the central tent, Shi Le was sitting with a big horse and a golden sword, with generals sitting on the left and right, and staff gathered around him.

There was a scribe in the center of the big tent, holding a letter and reading it out.

In Shile's camp, several close generals, as well as his capable nephews and others, are all illiterate. Although the situation has improved in the past two years, some people have also learned to be arty and know a little bit, but generally the majority are still illiterate. .

Because of this, whenever there is any military information, it is usually read to Shi Le first. If he thinks it can be publicized, he will have it read to his subordinates in public.

"...Beyond Tongguan, the Xiongnu ambushed thousands of people, intercepted the Han army in front and behind, and besieged the emperor's chariots in the middle. Some Han soldiers struggled to clear the way. After a bloody battle, they finally opened a passage and protected the emperor's chariots and horses to escape. However, the road ahead was blocked and the road behind was blocked, so we had to flee into the mountains and forests. As a result, we lost sight of him. We expected that he would not be there for long, and sooner or later he would end up in the Huns' prison."

What this person read out was the scene before Tongguan, when the emperor's chariots and horses of the New Han Dynasty were ambushed by the Huns.

Shile’s army’s battle report is much more comprehensive than other reports. The general process is described above——

The three royal princes led the emperor, supported by [-] troops and horses, and marched toward Guanzhong in a mighty manner, but were stopped by the Huns at the gate of Tongguan.

Under normal circumstances, if the two armies are at war, even if they are ambushed, as long as they use the method of military dispatch to deal with it, there may not be no chance to break out of the encirclement, or even turn to fight back.

But the problem is that this army of the imperial court contains powerful people and symbols of the entire dynasty!
Two of the three kings were very confident in their military abilities. They rejected many suggestions from the leading generals and decided to get rid of the ambush as soon as possible. They believed that as long as they entered Tongguan, they could naturally get out of the predicament.

Problems arise from this.

"The clan members who did not understand military affairs insisted on overstepping their authority. They did not even know the organization of the army, which caused chaos in the front and rear armies. In the end, the Huns seized the opportunity and directly cut off the Han army's front and rear connections!"

After listening to the narration, Shi Hu showed a mocking look.

"What's even more ridiculous is that those so-called princes and princes didn't realize at all that the real key point in the army was not the emperor's chariot, but the entire formation. As long as the formation was still there, even if the enemy broke into the army and approached, Even if they captured the emperor's chariots and horses, they could still trap people inside and strangle them. But in the end, they were lucky. In order to protect the emperor, they tore apart the military formation, causing an imbalance between offense and defense. Even though they saved the emperor for a while, the military formation collapsed and everything was at stake. That’s it!”

"Not bad," Zhi Xiong also commented, "The three Han kings, after the collapse of their troops and horses, did not want to gather their men and gather strength. Instead, they let the scattered soldiers and horses protect themselves and fled, leaving the already collapsed military formation. It was torn apart again, and finally these three losers escaped, leaving the broken soldiers and horses, which could not protect the emperor at all. If it weren't for the Han warriors who refused to retreat, I'm afraid the emperor would have been captured alive, without even a chance to escape. No."

His words made Shi Le nod. "Now, the Huns have taken the initiative, but this is also a hot potato." Shi Le smiled as he spoke, "We failed to capture the emperor and allowed him to escape from Luoyang. At first glance, it is a bad thing, but It also reduces the risk. A certain family heard that Youzhou Chen Zhengbei has a close relationship with the emperor. If he catches the emperor, it will offend Chen Zhengbei. If the Youzhou troops are provoked and they send troops to attack us from behind, they will be very passive. Now! Let the Huns have a headache about this matter now! These people threatened us a few days ago and fought against us, and they deserve it now!"

"Then Luoyang, should we fight or not?" Shi Hu was in a hurry. This time, due to a surprise attack, the guards of the Han family had no time to gather, and they attacked them one by one. As a vanguard general, Shi Hu couldn't kill him himself. Of the 30 people, he chopped more. It was very enjoyable, but not satisfied yet. He was afraid that because of this incident, Shi Le would decide to retreat.

"Of course we have to fight! Not only must we fight! We must continue to fight south! Take as much land as possible!" Shi Le smiled evilly. He stood up and his voice gradually became louder, like a wolf king showing his fangs, mobilizing himself. The tribesman asked, "How could you let such a good opportunity pass?"

Everyone's emotions were suddenly aroused and they seemed excited. Some of the belligerent ones were gearing up and eager to give it a try.

Looking at the momentum of everyone, Shi Le nodded slightly, knowing that the military spirit was available, and then said: "Some of you have asked about some things, but a certain family didn't answer. That's because there was an agreement. Now the Han family's court is like this. , then it doesn’t matter whether it is kept secret or not.”

After hearing what he said, everyone immediately began to wait attentively.

They could roughly guess what Shi Le was going to say.

Shi Le did not let them wait, and pointed it out directly: "Originally, our offensive in the south was not going well. We only made two openings in Sizhou and occupied insignificant cities. It is difficult to continue to advance south. We have already planned We gathered our troops and horses, temporarily recuperated, or went to attack the east, but a certain family suddenly announced that they were going south. Many of you came to find me, trying to persuade me, and asking for the reason. They were just worried that a certain family had temporarily lost their minds. …”

His eyes swept across the faces of several people, he paused, and then continued: "How will the situation be after we go south?"

Shi Hu chuckled and complimented: "My uncle is like a god with his troops. None of the Han'er in the south can stop us. He just let us break into Luoyang and drive away the emperor's children!"

"Don't flatter me!" Shi Le glared at Shi Hu, "We Jie people can't do this. The Han family fell into this situation just because they complimented each other and talked about nothing all day long. Looking around, the Han family in the north The power of the family, no one can..." At this point, he suddenly paused, and the sentence "No one can fight" was choked in his throat, because Shi Le suddenly remembered that there was a huge beast of unknown depth entrenched in the north. It is the power of the Han family.

"Ahem..." He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and Shi Le changed the topic, "You should also notice that when we go south this time, it is difficult for the Han family soldiers and horses we encountered to gather together. Shi Hu said that a certain family's soldiers are like gods. That's flattery, but the actual situation is that a certain family knew that the defense in the south was empty at this time, so they seized the opportunity!"

Hearing this, everyone almost understood, and Zhi Xiong asked: "Master, has the Han family got a new spy?"

"There is an internal agent," Shi Le laughed, showing an inscrutable look, "It's just that this internal agent was one of the Three Kings. He took the initiative to send a message to a certain family, asking me to lead the troops south! I didn't know why at the time, I was worried that it was a trap, so I fought hard and tested all the way. But now I am sure that the person is sincerely helping. It is wrong to say that he is helping. He must be taking advantage of a certain family! In this case, then a certain family cannot be polite and swallow up this Sizhou. Coming down is the only right thing to do!”
